The human stomach is lined with a thick layer of mucus that protects its walls from the acidic gastric juices secreted for digestion. Beneath this mucus layer, the stomach lining contains specialized cells that produce hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, facilitating the breakdown of food. Additionally, the stomach lining has gastric pits that lead to glands, which play a crucial role in the secretion process. This combination helps prevent damage to the stomach while aiding in digestion.
